The Crystal Skull

The Crystal Skull is a carved skull made from clear or milky quartz crystal, often believed to have mystical or archaeological significance. Some think it originates from ancient Mesoamerican cultures and may possess healing or supernatural powers. However, most experts agree that many of these skulls are modern forgeries, created in the 19th or 20th centuries, and lack genuine historical provenance. While they continue to fuel curiosity and popular culture, they are generally considered artifacts of curiosity or art rather than authentic ancient relics.
